No Mega Millions Winner, Jackpot Climbs To $1.6 Billion

Mega Millions lottery ticket forms at a convenience store on the east side of Manhattan March 30, 2012 in New York. The jackpot is at a record level because no one has matched the magic five numbers and Mega Ball since January 24 -- a full 18 drawings with no winner. Given the pace of the ticket buying, the jackpot will go even higher. A lottery spokesman reportedly has announced that the jackpot has risen to 640 million USD.
